Buyer Reviews : The absolute highlight here is Distler's setting of 'Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming', a fantasia based on the familiar tune. Dawn Upshaw's solo on the third verse is especially appealing.
Also especially notable is Healey Wilan's 'The Three Kings' with its hushed, reverent opening building to an ecstatic climax.
And also especially appealing is the 'Mary and the Baby Medley' which includes 'What Child Is This' along with a traditional German carol and two African-American spirituals.
This medley then leads into a beautiful rendition of 'Stille Nacht'. Definitely recommended for those who love the more classical Christmas music.
